Do You Have To Jump in basketball?
Something very interesting happened while I was training Randivna different basketball skills today.
I was training the execution of a jab step and drive to the basket to score.
She said "Dad, when I am driving to the basket to score do I have to jump?"
I was shocked when she asked me this question.
I told her in the beginning basketball was invented in 1891 by Canadian physical education instructor James Naismith.
When the game was first invented the primary goal was to shoot the basketball into the basket.
But everyone soon found out if you could not jump over people you could never get the advantage in the game of basketball.
So, the answer is YES, you have to jump to blocks shots and you have to jump over people to score.
Jumping is one of the most important skills when playing the game of basketball.
